Have you renewed your CBYRA membership yet? WHY Not?
Your High Point Series Results May Depend on It!
The season has just started and it's time to make sure your membership is current. If you check the 2007 CBYRA Yearbook (Page 37 C1(a), C1(b), and E as a matter of fact) and the Standard Entry form, you'll see that membership in CBYRA is required PRIOR to earning any points toward CBYRA High Point trophies. Don't despair... there may be a very brief "Grace Period" following this reminder.
If you haven't renewed, Do It Right Now by clicking on "Join Now" button to the left and then "Renew".
The CBYRA Yearbook will go to print within a few weeks. The Yearbook is a valuable resource for information on racing, policy, division and fleet contacts, scoring and contact info for your fellow CBYRA members.
It is especially important for Junior sailors to be sure that their membership is current. Junior High Point Competition is especially intense and entering your CBYRA number on your regatta registrations will assure you that your scores are counted! (Note to parents: make sure that your child's name is entered consistantly... make it "William" OR "Bill" OR "Billy" ... not a mix of all the variables. Entering the CBYRA number solves most problems.)
CORUM and CBYRA Announce
CORUM Cup for Junior Sailors
The Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association's (CBYRA) Junior High Point Regatta Series, a long-time annual summer racing tradition, has entered the realm of "Cup" racing. Venerable Swiss watch maker CORUM, has partnered with CBYRA, offering a minimum five year sponsorship commitment.
Attached with the perpetual trophy, being designed personally by CORUM President Michael Wunderman, are multiple college scholarships for the Champions in the Laser Radial and 420’s classes, skipper and crew; total valued equaling $2000.00 for each sailor. The Deed of Gift for the series is being crafted in such a way as to not jeopardize any junior competitor's future intercollegiate sailing participation.
“CORUM’s links to sailing have become part of the fabric of the company,” according to Michael Wunderman, President of Corum USA: “We are very proud to be involved with CBYRA and to further our ‘Unlock and Conquer’ philosophy with the inauguration of the Corum Cup.”
“We could not imagine a better opportunity than having a company with the prestige of CORUM and its long history of yacht racing involvement; it brings a level of excitement and credibility that is usually associated with world-class events,” noted Bill O’Malley, CBYRA Junior Division Chairman. “ Our junior sailors have a fantastic opportunity and will grow up with a fond appreciation for CORUM.”
The CBYRA Junior High Point series is a complex scoring formula that takes into consideration the total points earned throughout the season’s racing, as compared to the total number of competitors beaten during the races. CBYRA membership is required for all competitors wishing to qualify.
More than 150 junior competitors, ages 10 to 18, representing approximately 70 CBYRA member yacht clubs from across the Mid-Atlantic Region will compete for the honor of having their names engraved as Champions on “The CORUM Cup”. Approximately 50 regatta events form the annual series for junior sailors.
The Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association was founded in 1914 to promote fair sailboat racing competition, provide sailing opportunity to youth, and coordinate racing schedules and regattas on the Chesapeake Bay. Its junior program is nationally recognized for its excellence.
Founded in 1955 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Corum quickly earned a worldwide reputation for its unique watch designs. In 1960 England’s Royal Ocean Racing Club agreed to the use of the Admiral’s Cup name for a new collection of these distinctive timepieces. That was the beginning of the company’s long association with sailing – one that led to Corum-sponsored yachts winning the prestigious Admiral’s Cup offshore racing championship in 1991. Sponsorship of other events and boats are ongoing, everything from club racing to the recent restoration of Sir Francis Chichester’s world girdling yacht Gipsy Moth IV and as the Official Timekeeper of the Swedish yacht Victory Challenge during the 32nd America’s Cup.

CBYRA Has a New Look! Stop by and See Us.
Not only does the CBYRA office have a fresh coat of paint, it has some great new furniture as well.
Thanks to the generosity of Gilbert Renaut, CBYRA's Immediate Past President, there are two glass front display cases perfect for some of our perpetual and retired trophies, a desk and credenza, a side table and two conference tables.
Mr. Renaut graciously donated the furniture, all "retired pieces" previously used in the Halls of Congress and congressional committee meeting rooms, to improve the appearance and efficiency of the office and provide a proper place to display some CBYRA trophies from the past. On behalf of the board of directors and the membership, thank you Gilbert!
